Quote: If half of society agrees with something and the other half doesn't, is it right or wrong?
Then we'd have to make an agreement one way or the other. We do that all the time. That's how we get laws we don't always agree with. Right or wrong is relative in any situation.
Quote: Besides, why is it at all logical to hold what society believes as true?
Who says we have to?
Quote:It is logical from a utilitarian viewpoint, as I explained.
Well I don't hold to that position, is that bad of me then?
